I am trying to read a txt file that contains strings with integers. I would like to be able to get just the integers from this file and add the value each to create a total.
Edit:
You'll have to excuse me, that method will not work. What you need to do is read one line at a time, then split the line by each space, to get an array of words. From there you can identify integers and store the value.
final static String filename = "FILENAME.txt";
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = null;
File f = new File(filename);
try {
scan = new Scanner(f);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("File not found.");
System.exit(0);
}
int total = 0;
boolean foundInts = false; //flag to see if there are any integers
while (scan.hasNextLine()) { //Note change
String currentLine = scan.nextLine();
//split into words
String words[] = currentLine.split(" ");
//For each word in the line
for(String str : words) {
try {
int num = Integer.parseInt(str);
total += num;
foundInts = true;
System.out.println("Found: " + num);
}catch(NumberFormatException nfe) { }; //word is not an integer, do nothing
}
} //end while
if(!foundInts)
System.out.println("No numbers found.");
else
System.out.println("Total: " + total);
// close the scanner
scan.close();
}
